VH-FDX Beech 98
Travel Air
(c/n TD-411)
Originally
imported in 1960 for Eddie Connellan's Connellan Airways as VH-CLK,
this
Travel Air
was
re-registered -FDX when it passed to the Royal Flying Doctor Service in
August 1965. The
above
image, by Geoff Goodall, was taken at Alice Springs in October 1968.
No longer with the
RFDS, it is
now privately owned in Victoria. Chris O'Neill's color slide below
depicts it at Adelaide
Airport
in September 1975 where it was then based with Emu Airways. It
was part of their mixed
fleet of twins
operating scheduled passenger services to SA towns, mainly Kangaroo
Island.
